Hi fellow HNers, I wanted to show you my new project: Grople.com .

This is my 1s rails project, and I was looking for best learning practices. So I asked around (twitter, facebook) and got 2 types of responses: friends who also wanted to learn, and friends who could help out.

So this is actually what I built: an app to tell your friends what you need. Your friends can "+1" (they have the same need) or help out (commenting, offering their help).

I would love your feedback as much on the concept than on the execution. I built this in about 2 weeks, and will iterate based on your comments!

Thank again!
